ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Prosecutors say that Robin Niceta appeared to have fabricated medical records that she claimed showed she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which she said prevented her from traveling to Colorado for a competency hearing, according to court documents.
According to the documents obtained by Denver7 Investigates on Friday, the prosecutors in the case say she appeared to have made up an oncology clinic and doctor in New Mexico, and used Google images of glioblastoma to claim as her own MRI images.
Niceta, a former social worker in Arapahoe County, is accused of filing a false child abuse complaint against Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky after the councilwoman criticized former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, who was at the time still Aurora’s police chief, during a radio interview.
The motion asked the court to order Niceta, who is currently living in New Mexico, to return to Colorado for a competency evaluation or to provide legitimate medical records about her inability to do so.
According to the documents, a district court judge has ordered Niceta to appear in person for a May 15 hearing unless she can provide those records.
